To solve this first cache, you will need to solve maths problems similar to those found on a GCSE Foundation Maths paper.
The cache can be found at N50 ab.cde W 000 fg.hjk. The cache itself is a black 35mm film canister. To help you find it (as these caches are more about the maths than the find) it is hidden in the left-most of the clue items, towards the front underneath the usual stick-o-flage.
Please do not include hints, spoilers etc in your logs about the questions or the cache location. This will be classed as cheating and may result in disqualification from the cache!
